'About half of these young women have already claimed a gold medal with USA Basketball, so they bring great international experience with them. They are sure to be fierce competitors at trials. We look forward to choosing the group who will best represent the U.S. at the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup.' Stuelke is one of seven participants making their USA Basketball debuts. Kara Lawson (Duke) will serve as head coach, with assistant coaches DeLisha Milton-Jones (Old Dominion University) and Jennie Baranczyk (Oklahoma).
